In a large board room with a screen at the front somewhere in the city, an old man in a black suit stood up and asked, "So what's the current situation in Spain,"
"The earthquakes are becoming stronger, devastation is reaching critical peaks, the population is still struggling to evacuate," a man answered, he looked to be a kind-hearted and smart looking fellow though he had a muscular build, as he said this he pressed a button on the tablet he was holding and displayed information on the screen at the front of the room.
The man rubbed his furrowed forehead, "Okay, and Fuji in Japan? "
"The volcano's eruptions have intensified causing mass destruction but we have managed to help evacuate the neighboring cities." he said pressing another button and displaying new information on the screen.
"And here," the man asked frustration growing on his face.
"There have been reports of earthquakes past the coastline, so we could be expecting a tsunami in the near future,"
"Does anyone, have any good news! " the man shouted his voice angry.
"Sir, I think we found something," a middle-aged woman said barging into the room.

"Antitor attacked me, who knows how long it will be until he attacks others with an even bigger army. One thing is for sure, I need to become stronger" Keith said.
Just then Keith felt a sharp pain in his chest, as he looked down, he saw his shirt drenched in blood and two slashes running across, as he lifted his arm to check the damage the moment his finger touched the open cuts, he winced.
The adrenaline must have been blocking the pain during the fight, he thought.
" Those guys might have just been a small group but they could pack a punch," Keith said, "I need to get to the hospital,"
"No, that would draw too much attention and it won't be necessary anyway, " Damian said.
"Wait! Are you saying I can regenerate too," Keith said excitedly.
"No, you can't," Damian said, "but I can now teach you a new power, Heal,"
"Heal?" Keith asked confused.
"Yes, I was originally was going to ask you to cut yourself or break one of your bones in order to learn this power but I suppose this works too," Damian said.
"Wait, what!" Keith said taken aback.
"How else would you suggest to learn the power?"
"I don't know but isn't that a bit extreme,"
"You won't be saying that when you are badly injured in a battle and you can't heal yourself, enough with this talking, you're losing blood fast,"
Keith hadn't yet understood Damian's personality, it was so inconsistent but he just brushed it off.
He sat on the floor cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate.
" OK I want you to focus your energy into your palms and concentrate it there, " Keith looked at the figure of himself in his mind and moved the energy towards his palms, as he did so they started glowing yellow.
"Now place your hand on your cuts," Damian said.
Keith raised his hand and placed it on his cuts but instead of feeling pain he felt a warm satisfying sensation spread through his body, it felt like finally getting to that itch that had been bothering you.
As he opened his eyes and looked down, he could see his flesh and skin healing up, after his cut was healed his arms stopped glowing and as he examined his chest there wasn't even a scar left.
"Woah!" Keith said.
"Yes, when the energy is concentrated in the hands it can fix and replace damaged and deteriorated cells and speed up the healing process,"
"So I can't heal disease?" Keith asked.
"Well, maybe some, as long as the disease doesn't deal with any pathogens,"
"Okay," Keith said, at the moment a loud grumble was heard from his belly.
Why did I become so hungry, Keith thought as he rubbed his hand on his stomach.
"It's because you healed yourself, when healing yourself your body uses more energy," Damian said.
"Why is that?" Keith asked.
"It is more of a subconscious thing, your mind will make you use as much energy as possible in order to heal yourself as fast as possible and in the end will make you use unnecessary amounts of energy,"
"Is there any way to stop it?"
"I'm afraid not, your mind will try to get you healed as fast as possible with the power that you have, and that energy has to be replaced through food, that's why you are so hungry, but as you train your energy will increase, so it may not be so much of a problem, "
Keith just sighed and said," Well I better get something to eat then, "
As Keith walked out of the alleyway he looked down at his shirt stained with blood and sporting two slashes," And get a new shirt too, " he said.
As he walked down the street, he lifted his left hand and caught something that was shot towards him," Is this a tranquilizer dart?" he said, another dart was shot at him and he caught it with his right arm, a canister was shot at him and he ducked to dodge it but was caught off-guard when it started releasing a gas straight into his face, he kicked the canister away and tried running but his vision was becoming blurry, his body was staring to feel heavier and he could barely make a few steps. Keith fell to the ground but before he passed out he saw a black van with tinted windows drive up to him and as the door opened two men came out and dragged him in.
"We have him," were the last words he heard before he blacked out.
